Trump: I Don’t Think Palin Would Want To Be VP

GUTHRIE: “Back to Palin for a moment, would you consider her as your running mate?”
TRUMP: “Well, I don’t think to start off with, I don’t think that it would be something she’d want to do. She’s been through that, but — and you know, interestingly, Savannah, and this is a 100 percent fact, when she came to see me and when she talked to me and I could say that she really liked what we were saying, she never said, gee, I’d like to do this, I’d like to do that. She never made a deal like so many people want to try to make deals. I mean, she just said I really like what’s going on, it’s an amazing thing. I’ve never seen anything like it in politics. A lot of people have said that. Just read the cover of ‘Time’ magazine this week, right. But she said I’ve never seen anything like I’ve seen, you know, what you’ve been able to do and in a short period of time in politics.” [crosstalk]
GUTHRIE: “But, sir, the question — would you consider it?”
TRUMP: “I haven’t discussed it with her. No, I haven’t discussed anything with her about what she would do. But she is somebody I really like and I respect and certainly she could play a position, if she wanted to.”
GUTHRIE: “You wouldn’t rule her out as VP.”
TRUMP: “Well, I don’t think she’d want to do it. I mean, I don’t think she’d want to do it. And you know, I really don’t get into it right now because — I — that question is always asked to me, who do you have in mind and I don’t even have I about VP right now. And I just want to win. I’ve always been a closer, I get the deal done and I have to win before I think about that. There are a lot of good people in the Republican Party, there are a lot of good people. As far as Sarah’s concern never asked me about that, never asked me about anything else, just wanted to support, and it’s such an honor because as you know very badly so many people are so disappoint that she didn’t support them, but certainly that would be a role somewhere in the administration, in she wanted. And I’m not sure that she does want that, but there would certainly be a role.”
GUTHRIE: “All right. Mr. Trump joining us from Iowa this morning. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.”
TRUMP: “Thank you very much, Savannah.”
